Nursing

Why become a nurse?

Whether you are a school leaver, or you are a mature-aged man or woman looking for a career change, UNE offers  pathways to study nursing either on-campus or blended learning (a combination of short on-campus intensive schools, online learning and clinical placements). Prospective students who are already Endorsed Enrolled Nurses can enter the course with Advanced Standing at the beginning of 2nd year.

Nursing is a highly respected and rewarding career choice where men and women can work with people of all ages in a wide variety of settings around the world; from humanitarian work and disaster relief in an international setting, to health services within your own community, a cruise ship or correctional centre, nurses are the backbone of health-care services globally.

An international shortage of skilled nurses means that graduates of nursing courses are in high demand and the remuneration packages available are attractive and competitive. If you have ever thought about pursuing a career in nursing, now is the time. You will never look back!
